Analog Discovery Design Kit Mini Course Webinar

1. Analog Discovery Design KitMini Course Webinar Alan Rux Electrical and Computer Engineering Department University of Massachusetts Lowell Campus Lecture 1 of 4

2. Revolutionizing How Engineering Students Learn Analog Circuit Design

3. Go To LectureDo Experiments as in the Syllabus“wire-by-numbers” • three to six student in a Team • one student, builds circuit, takes measurements, fills out lab notebooks • others texts friends & look out into space • one student learns hands-on

4. Discovery Kit

5. Basic Electronic Lab.

6. the Analog Discovery Design Kit allow students to build and test a wide range of analog and digital circuits using their own PC without the need for any other special test equipment.

7. Active learning – learning by doing helps engineering students understand the process of breaking down larger problems into smaller, more easily solved parts without losing the overall understanding of the complete system.

16. Analog Discovery Design Kit • Static I / O • PC based virtual I/O device drivers including: • push buttons • LEDs • switches • seven segment displays • sliders • Progress bars

17. Analog Discovery Design Kit • WaveForms Software • Windows XP or newer • full –featured GUI for all instruments

18. Basic Electronic Lab.

19. the Analog Discovery Design Kit allow students to build and test a wide range of analog and digital circuits using their own PC without the need for any other special test equipment.

20. This approach eliminates the time and space limitations of traditional university lab settings and allows students more flexibility to experiment with real circuits through direct hands-on experience

21. Active learning – learning by doing helps engineering students understand the process of breaking down larger problems into smaller, more easily solved parts without losing the overall understanding of the complete system.

24. Analog Parts Kit

25. Electrostatic Discharge Hazard Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden flow of electricity between two objects caused by contact, an electrical short, or dielectric breakdown. ESD can be caused by a buildup of static electricity by tribocharging, or by electrostatic induction.

26. WaveForms Software • Windows XP or newer • full –featured GUI for all instruments

27. Let’s Get Started ! Google “Analog Discovery Kit Digilent”

28. Scroll down page to waveforms

29. Mouse click on “Learn more”

30. Click on

31. Need about 38MBite HD spaceMS Security Essentials will not be happy

32. Follow set-up wizard’s instructions

35. If you see this, the Discovery kit is not plugged in to USB port

36. Unit was detected “connect to device”

37. You are now connected

38. Download“a getting started guide for first time WaveForms users”

40. Experence the WaveForms software This can be done with or without the Discovery kit , use demo-mode

41. D.C. Circuits Lab. Experiments • Learning the ADK Leads (Analog Discovery Kit) • Solder-less breadboard use • Power Supply Operation • Voltmeter Operation • Series Circuits Measurements • Superposition Theorem • Homework problem

43. Time to take the ADK out of the boxand connect to a USB port.Connect the Leads to ADK.

44. The Leads are Keyedbottom viewcolor wires with white stripe on bottom, also bottom has small feet pads

45. Note keyway notch

46. Keyway pin

47. ADK top view with leads plugged in( note solid color wires are on top)

48. Leads are color coded

49. Leads we will be using today

50. To make things easer I use a rubber band to keep the leads I am not using out of the way Leads in use Not used
